Getting to know Melissa Spencer

Summer often brings a sense of change‚Äîlonger days, breaks from routine, and sometimes a shift in our environment or responsibilities. While this season can offer rest and renewal, it can also stir up unexpected emotions, transitions, or challenges. Therapy during the summer can be a powerful space to reflect, process, and realign before the busyness of fall returns. It's a valuable time to take care of your mental health, set intentions, and create space for personal growth. Melissa received her master‚Äôs degree in counseling psychology from Boston College and has been a licensed mental health counselor since 2002. She has worked with all age groups, ranging from toddlers to geriatrics, across numerous settings including clinics, crisis units, schools, homes, and within communities. She believes in a client-centered approach and is warm, compassionate, patient, and solution-focused. She has a calm nature, emits positive energy and good vibes, and will equip her clients with the skill sets they need to navigate through life with clarity, confidence, and independence. Melissa is devoted to helping her clients achieve their goals by providing a customized growth plan that best suits the client's needs. She believes that no one should have to face life‚Äôs challenges alone and will provide a safe and comfortable space for self-exploration and discovery. The therapeutic environment she creates is free from judgment and full of loving-kindness. If these words resonate with you, then please check out her availability and book an appointment. When Melissa is not caring for her clients, she loves spending time with her family, makes frequent trips to the ocean, and cuddles with her pups. She actively practices meditation and mindfulness and spends time outdoors whenever possible.

For the last 3 weeks this platform has failed me. I have not received my email or text reminders. That resulted in me almost completely missing an appt. Thankfully my therapist is flexible, reached out to me, and was able to meet at a later time. Please correct this communication.
